I do hate all this fence sitting 😀

I also am not sold on any convertible. Happy with a coupe with a sunroof

Does my bum look big in this??
Answer: YES.
The rear of a 911 convertible always looks a bit oversized. The new expance of painted bumper seems to make it look bigger again.

The choice of colour can make it or break it.. Just saw a picture of a new white coloured 992 coupe taken on a German motorway from the rear 3/4 angle and it looks awful. Bland and bloated.

Hmmm - I see what you mean. Maybe better in a darker colour and/or leave the model designation, maybe in black.

All this is personal, but this 992 Cab looks much better to me in the dark blue. My fathers 991.2 C2S Cab is black and looks much better proportioned than in a lighter colour.

That blue does look good, especially with PCCBs. And better still as a coupé, rather than the Cab. ;)
